Do you think you can tell instruments apart from each other? What if you can only listen to the timbre? It turns out to be harder than you think. Test yourself in this video!

Errata:
· re: binaural beats: some people can't hear them. There is apparently a difference between genders, and menstruation may also play a role in whether a person can hear this effect. If you can't hear them, you might try again another time. More info in "Auditory Beats in the Brain" by G. Oster -- PMID: 4727697 DOI: 10.1038/scientificamerican1073-94
· re: otoacoustic emissions: in the video I mention that OEs may result in tinnitus; I wanted to note that tinnitus has many (many) possible causes and having tinnitus does not necessarily mean that you have OEs.
Index to Part 1:
